The Carolina Hurricanes and the Minnesota Wild played three games in Finland. The games were part of the NHL's international games, known as the NHL Premiere series. The event capped off Helsinki's hockey week and drew attention both in Finland and elsewhere in the world.
The purpose of the NHL Premiere series is to bring NHL games to new regions around the world. In Finland, the games were of particular interest to hockey fans, as there are many NHL followers in the country. Many spectators got to see teams from North America's top league up close.
The games were also important for Helsinki's hockey week. Several events were organised during the week, and the NHL games added their own dimension to it. According to the organisers, interest in the event was great.
The series of three games came to an end, and it served as a reminder of how popular hockey is in Finland. Next, attention turns to what kinds of international games will be brought to Finland in the future.
